Snobot Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I think if today shows anything it is that the SFA would be more than capable of operating an even more complex tiered system of code release to appease the TA elite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what the issue is other than sheer greed making sure they get "cheap" tickets. Well, indeed. As I said, I don't have enough points so it's an irrelevance to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an irrelevance to me too but I dont think the point is entirely unreasonable. I do understand staggering the sale for those above 12 is time consuming and more complex but in practice its just an extension of what they are already doing. At the end of the day, you can be sitting on 12 points without ever having set foot outside Scotland. I'm not sure its fair that someone who has spent thousands traveling across Europe but has no online access till maybe 6pm today could end up having to pay £600 for a Germany game ticket while someone who doesnt even have a passport currently but has flexible employment grabs the more in demand Fans First tickets because he can. Even if they'd maybe had 2 tiers, one for say 16+ points and one for 12-16? Edited December 6, 2023 by Skyline Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Presumably each of the 21 confirmed countries were given a "slot" by UEFA as opposed to all 21 crashing their website at once. If so the delay might be significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side of that is 5/6 away games and a ticket is yours, not sure how that gives you "uber" status over someone who has gone to every home game and bought a ST package in the last couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they will work their way through and try to invalidate the codes issued in error given their is about 7500 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 So what if you've not set foot outside of Scotland? There are plenty of people who travel for home games across campaigns and not everyone lives in Glasgow or the surrounding area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant get to those 5 or 6 away games (officially anyway) without already having 11 or 12 points though! You're not seriously suggesting there is a significant number who only go to away games and dont go to Hampden are you? I just dont think its unreasonable that 1st dibs on the most popular tickets should go to those who've at least had to attend 2 or 3 away games in the campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they'd maybe had 2 tiers, onr for say 16+ points and one for 12-16? I am currently in that position (12 points go to all home games and dont have a passport at the moment) I used to go to loads of away matches (mostly in the nineties) but my personal financial circumstances make that impossible but always hoped that I could maybe save up (as I have been doing) and go to the finals. By doing this I am not queue jumping simply getting access to the less expensive tickets at the same time as everyone else on 12 points or more. I still struggle to see why those who can afford to travel the world should be entitled to the cheapest tickets. I am only going for the 50euro or 195euro tickets for the opening game as anything more than that is just stupid (in my circumstances) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Nobody on 12pts or above is paying 600 for a ticket, unless they want to. The points system is being deployed in the same way it has for years, with everyone on a certain total or above being guaranteed a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should that get you the same chance of a good ticket as those who went to Norway, Spain, Georgia, Cyprus, etc? Its clearly neither the same level of commitment nor cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
